Book Overview:
By Priscilla Tey
9780763689834 | May 2018 | Ages 4-8 | 40 pages
Look over there — the cat is between a table and a chair with a tear. But now look again: the cat is on top of the dog, who’s between the floor and the cat (and not too happy about that!). As you wander through the delightfully detailed illustrations, the more you look, the more you’ll see — including colors made from a mix of two others, hybrid implements such as a spork, warm nooks that are neither too cold nor too hot, even a cross of a zebra and cow that makes a . . . zebrow? In an engaging and utterly stylish debut, rising star Priscilla Tey leads readers on an addictive exploration of the in-between, a surprisingly far-reaching and everywhere concept.
My Review:
A hardback book with lots of visuals through color and illustrations, In Between Things explains the meaning of the word "between" with whimsical rhythmic words. A black cat and a brown dog are shown going between all sorts of things. For instance, take this excerpt from the book:
"An in-between thing can separate two things, which is sometimes a helpful and necessary thing.
The glass in between keeps fish wet and us dry. It separates the cat from the tasty-looking guy."
For a book to explain a word in a way that's so entertaining and catchy, In Between Things is a definite favorite of all the children books I've ever reviewed. It's a book that I wouldn't mind reading over and over to a young child. Note to the author: Please make more books like this!

I'd have to say both.We had dogs & cats when I was a kid.I love them both.Living in apts since I moved out of home I've never had a dog or cat. My daughter has 3 dogs,1 cat and fish. She loves animals so I knew when she moved out she would have lots of pets.I'd love to have a kitty but I can't afford a $500 deposit.Thank you for the chance ☺
